They had been hoping to wed in Tenerife, the largest of Spain’s Canary Islands off West Africa, but ditched those plans when Kershaw was diagnosed with terminal cancer in March, the paper reported.

The wedding was originally scheduled for June 2, but needed to be pushed to an earlier date when Kershaw’s condition continued to deteriorate. The ceremony — organized in less than 24 hours — was funded by the organization Gift Of A Wedding and strangers’ donations, according to the paper.

The organization posted an appeal to help fund the event, and within hours, strangers and businesses offered to pay for wedding cars, flowers and a cake.

“We truly cannot thank each and every one of you enough who shared and commented on our post and most of all to the amazing suppliers who have come together at such short notice — you’re all brilliant!” the organization posted on Facebook.

Close relatives, friends and nursing staff at the hospice attended the wedding, according to the Manchester Evening News.

Brooks’ niece and bridesmaid, Melissa King, told the paper that the couple was overwhelmed by the donors’ generosity.

“What Gift of a Wedding did was incredible,” King said. “They were up all hours the night before the wedding to make sure it happened.”

“I know Tracy and Ray can’t thank everyone enough for making it happen,” she added. “We can’t believe how much people donated at such short notice.”
